My Beautiful Disciples, I'm really not the Main Character!

It didn\'t just look like manipulation but also something more at play.

"You killed the Sect Master! You are a puppet of the Southern Continent!" One of the Core Disciples said.

Hearing his words, Eren was sure that he didn\'t actually know that he was a spy from the Southern Continent. It was just a story that the Elders told them to make them even more radicalized.

"Is that what you believe?" Eren asked, stopping in front of the door. "Or is that what the ones behind you want you to believe?"

"You need to die for betraying the Sect Master!" The Core Disciple stated fiercely, not wanting to hear a single word from Eren.

Instead, he ran towards Eren, brandishing his sword. It was as if he had no concept of fear anymore, even forgetting that he was attacking the person that he claimed to be strong enough to kill the Sect Master.

Eren watched the disciples run towards him while the Leader of the Guards and the other Great Elders simply watched from a distance, waiting for the opportunity to strike.

Although he couldn\'t see the Ancestral Elders, he could also feel their gazes. They had brought him at a crossroad where no matter what he did, he had to go against the entire sect.

"If this is what you want, then this is definitely what I\'ll give you." Eren raised his right hand, the finger on his ring shining brightly.

Seeing his movements, the Ancestral Elders outside the Palace smirked. He had fallen into their trap. So what if he had the ring. As long as he killed the core disciples, they had justification.

"I\'m just messing with you." The killing intent in Eren\'s eyes suddenly disappeared as multiple portals opened in front of him.

The Disciples that were running towards him couldn\'t stop themselves in time as they entered the Spatial Portal.

The other end of the portal opened up right above the Ancestral Elders who were standing outside the Palace.

The Core disciples fell out of the Portal, landing over the Ancestral Elders that were waiting for the moment to strike. It was as if humans had started raining over them.

"I believe you are forgetting something." Eren made all the disciples disappear, sending them outside the palace.

He only left the Elders and the Great Elders inside the Palace. His robe fluttered behind his back as he slowly walked towards the Elders.

"You side with the Ancestral Elders, because you are scared of them. But are you really sure that they are the only ones you need to be scared of?"

With each step he took, he released the Sword Emperor\'s Aura. He also cast the Dragon Tongue, increasing his speed to the point that the Great Elders couldn\'t even see when he appeared behind them.

One of the Great Elders felt Eren\'s hand on his shoulder. Feeling the Sword Emperor\'s Aura from this close, his body was frozen in shock.

"I am sure you aren\'t fools. You know that you are being used. Did you really think that you could survive that way? If you want to turn me against the Sect, then you can give it a try."

Eren took his hand off the Great Elder\'s shoulder while walking away, revealing his back to them. "I can promise you only one thing. Even if all of you come together, I can still leave this Sect. But will the sect be left standing? I\'m not quite sure."

"If you don\'t believe me, then attack me once and I promise I will make you see what a true demonic way of dealing with things looks like."

The Great Elders turned towards Eren, watching him walk towards the exit of the Palace. It was the perfect opportunity for them to attack him when he was not looking in their direction but for some reason, they could not dare to attack him.

They couldn\'t help but feel that there was some truth to his words.

They found themselves stuck between a rock and a hard place. On one side were the Ancestral Elders that had defined an era with their strength. On the other side was Eren, the person that was said to be a demon who loved eating the flesh of people he killed.

"We will not interfere in the matter," One of the Great Elders said, taking a step back. It was better for them to be neutral in a battle between two demons.

The other Great Elders also said the same thing, coming to a realization that Eren was not as simple to deal with as they had thought. He had not fallen for their trap.

Soon, Eren stepped out of the Palace that was the safe ground for him.

Inside the Palace, the formations that he could control were the strongest. However, outside, they were insignificant.

Still, he didn\'t show even the slightest hesitation as he stepped out the threshold, as if he had had enough.

"I thought you would be hiding inside the Palace for an eternity. Are you finally planning to show yourself?" In the distance, an Ancestral Elder exclaimed while pushing aside a disciple who had fallen from the sky.

"What can I do? You want an excuse, so I thought I will come and give you an excuse myself," Eren said, already being in a bad mood.

"Where are the two leaders of your pack?" he asked observing the surroundings to see that two Ancestral Elders were missing.

One of them was the woman who was supposed to become the next sect master while the other was the one who had contacted Mist.

"They don\'t need to come. We are enough to deal with a Traitor who backstabbed our Sect Master!" The Ancestral Elder said as the others appeared behind Eren, blocking his path back inside the Palace.
